Iceland is a frozen
food supermarket in the UK. Frozen food, groceries, domestic appliances, a wide variety of goods are
available from Iceland stores around the UK.

There was a time when
there was an online affiliate program and you could order
groceries online and Iceland would deliver them for you. You
could go to the Iceland website at any time of the day or night
and even on a Sunday, choose what you'd like to have, and have it
delivered to your home at a time that is convenient for you! This
is part of the fun of shopping online. (More specifically: You could shop at
Iceland.co.uk 24/7 and have your shopping delivered for FREE (minimum
order value £40). If you ordered before 3pm and there was a
delivery slot available, Iceland could deliver your shopping the
next day!)

Iceland (2005): "Iceland
is a high street supermarket chain with 760 stores across the UK
and Ireland. Over 22,000 people make up the Iceland team, working
to bring great products and great services to our customers at
value-for-money prices. Our stores are located in busy shopping
areas and we are dedicated to making food shopping fast and easy,
pioneering services like Home Delivery for customers who shop in
store".

Iceland
Groceries: Iceland's motto is "Food You Can
Trust", and there's a lot of publicity given to the fact
that Iceland's own-brand foods are all GM-free. So, if you want
to buy genetically modified food you'll just have to shop
somewhere else. At Iceland they say "We take pride
in our products. Iceland was the first UK retailer to ban GM
ingredients from own-label lines, we don't use artificial colours
and flavours in our own-label products, and our food is clearly
labelled so customers know exactly what's in the pack".
Please note that if you'd like to buy groceries from Iceland, you'll
have to make an arrangement to get to the shops, as the online
shopping is not currently available (2005/12). Update 2009/05:
Well Done to Iceland for reducing the price of Free
Range Eggs!
This is excellent PR, and a positive vote for animal welfare.

Iceland Appliances: It stands to reason that
Iceland's speciality is refrigeration, with such a great
selection of home appliances. In the words of Iceland: "Iceland.co.uk
offer a wide range of kitchen appliances available at great
prices. Customers save ££'s with our great deals and additional
online discounts. Services include nationwide delivery, usually
within 2 working days, collection of old appliances and aftercare
package". It's worth remembering that as well as fridges,
freezers and chest freezers Iceland also sell cookers, washing
machines, tumble dryers and dishwashers. "You can contact
the specialists for advice and buy online ... all without setting
foot out of your home". Iceland sell a range of branded
fridges, freezers and fridge freezers that are chosen with the
environment in mind. Iceland: "All our refrigeration
appliances use R600a; a gas that is not only harmless to the
ozone layer, but also climate friendly. Our intention is to give
customers the option to purchase an appliance with the minimum
impact on the environment at a price that does not put these
products out of reach. By selling only HFC and CFC free products
Iceland seeks to encourage manufacturers to invest in sustainable
products. The majority of the appliances that we sell have an
energy rating of C or above, meaning that consumption of
electricity is reduced. This not only helps the environment, but
saves you money too". This is, as far as we know, still true,
and now there's an Iceland Appliances page to contrast with the old page which is still up.

More about
Iceland:

"Known for our
pedigree in frozen food, we continue to develop innovative frozen
products that save time and money. But many Iceland stores offer
much more, from fresh fruit and veg to groceries, wine and beer.
308 Iceland stores also sell home appliances, with specialist
teams ready to help shoppers choose the right fridge or freezer
for their home.

Iceland is famous for
deals, and for the pride we take in our products. Our own-brand
food continues to be made without GM ingredients, artificial
colours or flavours. Added services, like our 'Free From' lists
for allergy sufferers, help people with specific needs to find
the products that are right for them".

"At Iceland we are
dedicated to providing great products at great prices. We believe
in variety, choice and value, and work hard to offer practical
meal solutions for busy people - whatever their budget".

Also
WELL DONE to Iceland for sticking with a co.uk domain rather than
falling for the dot com conformity problem!

Most of
the Information on this page was updated for Issue88 in early
2006, and then it was updated again in April 2008 for Issue116 to
include the new affiliate program at Affiliate Window

Update 2011: This page
has been without an affiliate link for years, which is a shame
because a great many famous shops have affiliate programs. I hope Iceland
will resume having home delivery and orders online and an
affiliate program. Even the fashion shop across the road, Coneys, now have an affiliate program!

Iceland bags are some
of the best supermarket bags in town. These quality bags say on
the side "Don't throw me away - reuse me". Such advice
is often heeded by customers, as the bags are good enough to
reuse to carry stuff around and pack stuff, for years. This is in
contrast to some supermarket bags which are so poor that they
split or fall apart within a short time.
